Answers
Both Derry and Lamb are victims of physical impairment, but much more painful for them is the feeling of loneliness. However, Mr. Lamb has developed the right attitude over the years; but Derry, owing to his young age, has not learnt it. As a result his loneliness is more painful.
Mr. Lamb He has the acumen to see positive aspects in all situations. He loves weeds as much as flowers and other valuable plants. In spite of being a handicapped man himself, he always carries a cheerful disposition for everyone. He never complains and welcomes all. He does not mind children calling him ‘lamey Lamb’.
Derry, on the other hand looks at the world through dark glasses of negativity. His face had been disfigured in a mishap in which acid had fallen on one side of his face. It had disfigured his face for the life time. People who saw him, reacted to it shockingly. He had started disliking people; even his parents often made him feel low about his scar. He had alienated himself from people. He preferred being alone and distant from people. He did not like people as they always talked discouragingly.
